Happy New Year

December 31st, 2009

God has given us another year and for that I am grateful. We start a new decade and we do not start it alone. Immanu-el (in Hebrew) means “God with us.” We start this decade with God.
We start the decade with God’s help, by God’s grace and because of God’s mercy.
As you walk daily with God it is my prayer that you will see God’s Providence each day and experience God’s presence each day.
We have many tasks and many challenges ahead of us in 2010, but the Good News is that we have God with us (Immanu-el) as we take on those tasks and face each challenge.
My prayers for you and yours in this new year (and decade) are the same as the Blessing of Aaron.
May the Lord bless you and keep you, cause His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you. May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you PEACE!
